I’m a quiet observer who prefers to capture moments as they unfold naturally. I focus on candid interactions that display your natural expressions of love and connection. With that being said, I will offer guidance and ideas when needed.
When filming, I try to be sensitive to the comfort levels of your family. If I feel like someone needs a break, then I focus on other members of the family or capture details in your home.
In a pre-session questionnaire, I ask what your days look like and what your kids enjoy doing. A lifestyle shoot can include wake-ups, meals, and bath time. You can bake sugar cookies, play games, or visit your favorite park. It helps to have a few things planned, but they should be things that you normally do as a family. It will help you and your kids feel more comfortable.
Fill out my inquiry form and share your vision. I'd love to know what YOU want.
I confirm availability and we chat about what is important to you so I know what to focus on most during our time together.

Absolutely! However, my travel expenses will need to be covered. Typically this includes driving costs/airline ticket, car rental, and lodging (unless you have something for me!) for locations 100 miles outside of Lawrence, Kansas.
After editing your film, I will select scenes to export as images. They'll be high resolution images but won't be further edited, cropped, or photoshopped.
The goal is to document your life as it is. I won't be directing you the whole time or asking you a ton of questions. I'm an introvert who loves observing the world around me. With that being said, I am here to offer guidance or ideas when needed. I’m not expecting perfect behavior from your kids. If I feel like someone needs a break, then I focus on other members of the family or capture details in your home.
Being with your family longer than just an hour or two means more natural moments. I have time to get to know your family and likewise your family with me. With everyone at ease, your family’s natural interactions come out. It also gives us time to really tell the story of your day. It’s also beneficial in terms of natural light because we can follow it as it illuminates different rooms in your home.
